Modifying the Whois (Contact Details) of Domain Names

Typically, Domain Name Contacts are of the following types:

Registrant Contact

Administrative Contact

Technical Contact

Billing Contact

In the system, Contacts are independent of a domain name. All contact information that you have used for registering any domain name, is maintained separately in a Contact database.
This allows you to re-use the contact information for any other domain name registration without having to fill in all the values again. Think of this as linking Contacts from your
Contact database to the domain names you register. Whenever you change any contact information in any Contact, it will automatically change that information in every domain name which uses
that contact information and reflect the same immediately in the Whois lookup results of your domain name.

Whenever you change the contact information of a Registrant Contact that is associated with a Domain Name the contact change has to be approved by both the losing and the gaining registrant. The changes can also be authorized by a Designated Agent

What is Designated Agent (DA)

The ICANN Transfer Policy allows the sponsoring registrar to serve as a Designated Agent (DA). The Designated Agent is specifically authorized by the Prior Registrant and New Registrant to make any change on its behalf, through consent that must be obtained from both individually at least once by the sponsoring registrar.

When modifying the name and/or company and/or email address details of the registrant, the user will be provided two options:

Registrar acts as Designated Agent and authorizes the change request. Under this option, the registrant cannot opt out of the 60-day lock.
If both the Prior Registrant and New Registrant authorized the registrar to serve as DA, the change request will apply immediately. If only one has authorized the registrar to serve as DA, the change will only occur after the Prior Registrant or New Registrant, whichever is required, consents to the requested change.

Registrant Authorization required -- Maintain Status Quo:

As it currently is handled now, the Prior Registrant and New Registrant receive email messages asking to approve the change to the Registrant contact.
Option to opt out of 60-day lock will be provided to the registrant.

In case of a .EU domain name, only the Registrant Contact information needs to be provided and hence, the Contact Details view will display only the Registrant Contact.
However, the Whois Lookup results of a .EU domain name will also display an Onsite Contact and a Billing Contact. 2

Modify the details and click the Save Contact Details button to proceed to save the changes.

You may choose to use the the Registrant Contact Details for the Administrative, Billing & Technical Contact Details by selecting the Use same contact for Administrative, Billing & Technical details checkbox.

Contact modifications to the following fields will trigger Change of Registrant verification and you will be provided with an additional step to complete contact modification:

Name

Company Name

Email Address

Modification to the Contact Details in these circumstances will present you with the following options:

Registrant authorization NOT required: You authorize the registrar to act as a designated agent on behalf of the registrant to approve the contact changes. A mandatory 60 day lock will be applied on the domain.

Mandatory registrant authorization required:The changes will be applied only post approval from the losing and the gaining
registrant. You have an option to opt out of the 60 day transfer lock if this option is selected

You may choose either of the options above and click the Save Contact Details button. Based on your preference the contact modification will go through immediately or will be pending registrant authorization. The 60-day lock will also be applicable based on the preference.

The following list displays the various types of .DE(Anchor: deaddrules) Contacts listed
in our system and how they are displayed in the Whois of .DE domain names:

.DE Contact Type displayed in the System

.DE Contact Type displayed in the Whois

Registrant

Domain Holder

Admin

Administrative or admin-c

Technical

Technical or tech-c

Billing

Zone administrator or zone-c

The Registrant or the Administrative Contact of a .DE domain name needs to be from Germany. This implies that the country of either of these Contacts
needs to be Germany.

The Name field of any .DE Contact can not be modified. If you wish to modify the Name, create another Contact and associate the same with your .DE domain
name.

While modifying the Contact Details of a .DE domain name, the .DE Registry checks if the Name Servers used by the domain name contain a Zone for this domain name and the correct NS
Records.

If the Name Servers fail to display the Zone file of your .DE domain name and/or display NS Records for the Name Servers, you will not be able to modify
the Contact details of your .DE domain name. Moreover, you will be provided 30 days to correct this issue or else your domain name would get Deleted by DENIC.

Once you have setup your .DE domain name's Zone correctly, you may click the Recheck Nameserver Status button in the Order Information view to confirm the same with the .DE Registry.

.ES(Anchor: esaddrules) domain names use an independent Contact database in the
system. Contacts for .ES domain names are listed under .ES Contact.

The following list displays the various types of .ES Contacts listed in our system and how they are displayed in the Whois of .ES domain names:

Contact Details addition is restricted in the following ways:

For Registrant Contact:

The Registrant Contact of a .ES domain name may either be a natural person/individual or a company.

You may not modify through our system any Contact Details of the Registrant Contact, of a registered .ES domain name.

Note

If you wish to transfer the ownership of a .ES domain name to another entity, the transfer procedure needs to be followed. Once a request has been submitted at the Registry, you need to inform our Support Team at sales@bookyourdomain.com. This will enable us to track the request and update our database accordingly.

Modifying the Registrant Contact Organization for a .JOBS domain name will necessitate re-verification.

A fee might apply depending on the situation; instances are handled on a case by case basis by the Registry Operator for .JOBS (Employ Media LLC). Registry Operator may be contacted directly at the time of the Registrant change to find out if there is going to be any fee.

Modifying CED Contact Details for a .ASIA domain name

you may choose either the Registrant, Admin, Technical or Billing Contact as the CED Contact, or

if none of these Contacts meet the CED requirement, you can use the CED Contact provided by www.bookyourdomain.in. In this case, the Technical
Contact provided by you gets replaced by the CED Contact. Due to this, information of the Technical Contact associated with such a .ASIA domain name cannot be modified.

To Modify the CED Contact associated with a .ASIA domain name

Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name and proceed to the Order Information
view. 5

The existing CED Contact is marked as (CED). Here, you may modify the CED Contact specific details.

You may also select one of the other Contacts (Registrant, Administrative, Billing or Technical) as the CED Contact for the domain name. For this, click the specific Contact,
select the Use this as your local Contact(CED) checkbox. If the newly selected Contact has never been used as a CED Contact before, you would be prompted to
provide additional information, so as to declare that this Contact is a legal entity
within the DotAsia Community. Provide the details.

If you had chosen the CED Contact provided by www.bookyourdomain.in during the registration of your .ASIA domain name, the
newly selected CED Contact will now be listed as the Technical Contact for your domain name.
